Ambuscaded

The last part of the travel was very problematic.

The caravans have to pass by the border of the great forest of Purran.

This massive extension of forest was the delimitation of the civilization, inside it and far to the south were vast extension of endless forest and mountain range, inhabited largely by the so called "monstrous nations", which were no more of than tribal organization, almost always of one race, rarely enslave other race, generally they eat them.

One of these race was the orc, which were a tribe of savage big humanoid creature, of a green skin that generally get darkest as old the orc was.

Apparently one scout unit of the orc discover the caravan and lay down an ambush, an attitude rarely sees among the orcs who generally just charge at the first sight of enemy.

This change in attitude reveal a very troublesome matter, there was someone that was powerful enough to be recognized by the orcs, a wise enough to make and ambush, something rarely sees between the orcs.

The sudden charge of the orcs makes the hole caravan enter a chaotic state, as the guard heavily oppress the prisoner, they were all in a bad state to begin, all were chained, this makes them easy prey to the orc, which attack some of the guard to entertain them but in the majority they focus in catch some prisoner for themselves.

The prisoner that were catch by the ogres were generally kill before they get the corpse and flee the scene, but some prefer to catch they prey alive, one of that orcs try to catch Ren, and although he was in a bad shape after al the abuse, he manage to avoid al attack of the ogre.

This really piss off the ogre, he let out a war cry and his muscles bulged, his killing intent made palpable and his eyes were bloodshot.

The orc walked thirteen steps and after a great impulse attacked Ren, this attack was dodged by a hair's breadth, at this moment the half orc Peruke appear with a double kick to the face of the orc knocking him down, then Ren react at lighting speed to strangulate the orc with his chain, of course the strength and corporal mas of Ren was not enough to control the orc, but Peruke start to wrestling the orc, giving punch and striking with the chains, after 2 minutes of fight the orc lost consciousness.

At this moment they look to their surroundings.

It was a carnage, there were very few prisoners still standing, a vast amount was kidnaping, and there were some minor casualties in the guards' ranks.

After count the amount of remaining prisoners, the faces of all the guards were grim, the caravan have thousands of prisoners to be slave, but now no more than fifty remain.

This will indubitable bring a lot of problems to them, they take one hours the reformatted the caravan a then restart the march.

When the night arrive the remaining prisoner were given a very good meal (compare to before), and this time there were no beating in at all.

That night Ren was really nervous to check something, after all he have receive a very good notice, he has level up, twice.

When he checks his status again he was very surprised, because his strengthening of statistic was superior to what he expected.

Statistics: Strength 8->16; Agility 6->14; Endurance 6->14; Constitution 7->18; Willpower ->25; Mind 8->16

His statistic was more than double in two level, it was supposed to be an increase of two units by the information that Peruke give him.

His prospection of future was very bright, if this trend can be hold to the rank upgrade his strength could be that of a person of a rank higher.

Of course this will just apply for the very first two rank, after all the increase of power that the rank give was exponential, so it can't be bridged in the higher levels

This good notice makes him really happy, in a very strange contrasted to the dark mood of the camp.

The next morning the breakfast was really good, and they start the march soon after finish it.

The guards of the caravan were now very vigilant, and they were now adamant on not losing another prisoner, so the travel were smooth and they reach a city in the mounting some days later.

This was the city of Percan, and it was a miner city, the seat of power of the black widow guild.

When they reach the city walls, the guards recognize the caravan's guards, and after a few inspections they start to tease the caravan leader.

"tsk tsk you were supposed to bring thousands of new slaves, but I don't count more than a fifty, I guess it was too much to trust to you a task so simple", said the guard of the city.

"what do you know, we were ambushed in the way here by a horde of orc, they were very good organized, they clearly have a shaman of a very high power", said the caravan leader

"tsk tsk, a shaman you said, now you clearly are bringing here some interesting excuses, there were no new notice of anything similar to this by our explorer, do you really think that a horde of orc with simple shaman will escape the eyes of our explorers", said the city guard, the mocking expression in his face was making the caravan guard lose all the patience, when a fight was about to start, suddenly they heard a loud voice say "enough of this bullshit, the Lady of the keep expect your report right now, don't make she lose any more seconds".

The face of the caravan guard was pale, he gave some order to accommodate the prisoner and then start to running towards a castle in the mountain.

They were driven to a district near the wall, obviously this was the worst part of the city, since the city was build up to the mountain Ren supposed the riches people will be up because all the shit was sewage to here.

In this district they were received by some people that obviously has a very low standing among the people of the city, but they were still in charge of the new slave, this new people made them line up in a courtyard and then someone shouted at them what they life would be from now on.

"Now you are slave of the black widow guild, you will be assigned to a barrack and can never sleep in another one, from tomorrow onward you will have to go to the mine at the morning until the night, you will have a small break up for lunch just if your quotas of mineral are fulfilled, and if you try anything funny, all the people in the same barrack as you will be severing punish, now go to your barrack and enjoy your las day of rest"

This whole situation made Ren unable to sleep all night, he had barely arrived in this world when he was kidnapped, and almost a year had passed and his progress was almost zero, his strength had only increased in the last few days, compared to All the people who came under the patronage of the big factions were going to have big problems catching up with them in the future.

When it was time they were group and directed to the mines, and when they were close to it he heard in whispers

"Ren at the lunch find me"
